Rough Guides has joined forces with HipGeo to launch a Trip Lens application for iPad and iPhone devices. The app uses GPS to enable travellers to record their travels as they go along, share text and photos with friends and family, via Facebook and Twitter, and create a story around their journey. A map helps them plot the journey as they go along and users can also link to a website which compiles photos into a personalised blog. If no Wi-Fi is available posts are saved and automatically uploaded the next time there’s a connection.

Priceline is targeting families with the addition of a third way to book its hotels.

The Express Deals is accessible via an orange tab at the top of the selected city page.
